Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Remington 788 in .223

Remington 788 in .223 Remington, 24-inch barrel: This rifle wears a Ramline (I think) synthetic stock. I have not owned this one nearly as long as the .222 Rem listed in another thread. This .223 is as accurate as the .222 is (5 shots in 1/2" is easily doable), but the only bullets I have used in it are Nosler 50-gr. Ballistic Tips. I have used Benchmark, TAC, & X-Terminator in this rifle with complete satisfaction.This rifle is equipped with a Timney trigger, an EGW (I think) rail, and Warne steel 1" rings. Comes with one magazine.

$675 + shipping and insurance costs

Scope not included.

Check, money order, or Zelle are acceptable forms of payment. I do not and WILL NOT accept paypal at any time, for any thing, for any reason...they're the devil.

That’s a great looking 223! Good luck with your sale.

What is the barrel length of this one?

All the ramline stocks i have seen have been checkered.

One hell of a deal !!!

24"

What is on the crown of the muzzle?

Is the twist rate 1:14 or 1:12?

That is a Capplug. I use them to protect the muzzles of my rifles for storage in the safe because I store them muzzle down to preserve butt pads. Forgot to pull it off for the pic.





Twist is 1:12.

I may very well be wrong about the stock. If I was ever told who made it I have forgotten. It may be Uncle Mike's, but I don't know and I'm not even sure I remember them offering stocks, but it seems like they did at one time. I'm digging around through some old catalogs I've kept over the years. What I do know is that the stock is not like the flimsy tupperware stocks I have seen so many of. This one is nice and rigid like my B&Cs and HS Precision stocks.

I'll keep looking to see if I can positively identify it.

Up for Sunday.

Deal pending.
